the sharpest kind of excitement in the

a sort of panic during both sessions.

those who had sold buyer year contracts
short, for 10000 tons of actual grain,
and the option was given these "sellers"
to settle for cash, In case they did not
have the grain, at price to be fixed by
the big pool, that being the price OF the
call board spot wheat. that is, the wheat
piled up in 100 ton lots in the Call
Board warehouses.
HOW IT TOOK ROOT.
Wheat was 81 S5 yesterday. This
morning spot wheat was advanced by
the pool to 81 10 in the most abrupt
manner. OF course, all those who were
called upon, and who did not have grain
to deliver, had to settle at that price.
For several hours q long string of de-
spondent short sellers filed up into Dres.
hach's office, on California street, to
make their settlements. 1t is reported
that several severe losses were entailed.

A CHANCE FOR FARMERS.

wheat this month and get it into the
Call Board Warehouse piled up in lots
of 100 tons each, can get $2l0 per

THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE.
Parties who are we'll informed say
that between fifty and sixty thousand
tons more will be called for by the COM
bination on buyer year contracts. and
have predicted that the price will run
up to 50. so before the end comes. White
wheat for Call Board uses was worth
81. 10 per day; the most that exporters
would pay was $l.S5 per GENITAL for the

as man and wife under the name of Bur.

w. Rivers, an actor, known in the pro.

tragedy was the attempt OF Rivers to
take Mrs. Rivers life on April 10Th, for
keeping company with this man Hall,
who to day succeeded in doing what
Rivers had attempted two months ago.
Hail cut his own throat after killing the
woman and is now lying at the point OF

Coroner, asking that his father, who re-
sides in st. Louis, be notified by a letter
which is dated May Goth, and which
states that he takes the life OF himself
and wife Mrs. Rivers) because OF the

When Hall found that his effort to take
his own life was unavailing he tore the
flesh from the wound with his own
hands. At the hospital this afternoon
the physician entertained very little
hone of his recovery.

the critical illness of Ex.Vice. President
William A. Wheeler: For ten days he
had been conscious and rational only at
intervals, and for the past two or three
days in stupor the greater part OF the
time. He is suffering from softening of
the brain and there are indications of
approaching paralysis. A carbuncle
has appeared and become an element of

that he can rally, and his death at any

paper in relation to the seizure of the
British Columbia whalers in Behring's
Sea, was laid before Parliament to-day.
1t consisted of dispatch from Lord
Lansdowne. dated May 2lst, to Sir
Henry Holland, Secretary for the Colo
nies, transmitting the views of the Privy
Council of Canada. on the subj ect based
on the report by Hon. George E. Foster,
Minister of Marine and Fisheries.
CERTAIN ARRESTS MADE.
This report, after recting the particu-
lars of the seizure already given. pro-
ceeds; minister Foster further states
that from information received from the
owners of seized vessels and from
the Collector of Customs at Victoria, ,sshe
learned that James Ogilvie, an old man,
and Master of the Carolina, was ar
rested along with the masters and mates
of the Onward, and Thornton and
brought into Court for trial. That
before sentence was pronounced he was
suffered to wander away into the woods
where he died from want and exposure,
and that the other masters and mates,
after remaining several months in pri-
son, were released by order of the Gov
ernor of Alaska and turned adrift liter
ally destitute, to find their way as best
they could to their homes, fifteen hun
dred miles distant" Further on the
report says:
No INFORMATION RECEIVED. s..a
The owners of the condemned vessels
have received no information from the
United States authorities of the release
Of their vessels or the restoration of the
valuable cargoes of sealskins and the
equipments on board. They fear that
the Indians will have carried everything
valuable from the vessels and the own.
ers are compelled to receive them at
Onalaska, where they were detained. 1t
will necessitate the charter OF steamer
with men and supplies at great expense
and a round voyage of 5000 miles to
bring the vessels to Victoria. The
owntrs therefore consider this ground
for claiming consideration from the
United States authorities when
the question of reparation is being
settled. The Privy Council concur in
the report of the Minister of Fisheries,
and asks the Governor General to call
the attention of Her Majesty's govern
ment again to the great injuries done by
the United States authorities to British
subjects peaceably pursuing their lawful
occupations on the high seas, and to the
great delay which has taken place in
the inquiry into redressing the wrongs
and the severe inhospitable
and unjustifiable treatment of the ofh.
GERS and crews of the vessels seized, and
to the serious loss inflicted upon the
owners of the same, in order that full
and speedy reparation may be made by
the United States government.
